Damn, that's fine.

If so, I would like to see you live. Pop music needs to be destroyed. It's not in a good place at the mo.

Funk band with socio-political undertones, am I right?

When you're getting interviewed by MTV and they ask the band if they want have some "me time" and then talk to the singer.

I've not had to use it at full pelt that often but when I did, the promoter had complaints from the neighbourhood, I sh*t you not. Check all the drivers individually, listen at a lowish volume at the centre of each speaker, next, put some welly through it and check out how the tweeter sounds at high volume, mine was farting when I bought it but I thought it was an eq thing, I had to replace the voice coil a few months later as it was f***ed. Give it a try, they are insanely light and sound like a huge heavy bastard. Steve.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='535931' date='Jul 8 2009, 07:04 PM']Are Custom basses worth it? Worth what I ask? If anyone makes a custom bass how do they price it? If you think that they all total the price of the material and the hours taken to construct plus a reasonable percentage profit I think you'll be mistaken. There's a deal of hype and bullshit involved. £3000 is oft quoted as a sort of benchmark in this thread. Well I presently own 3, or maybe 4 if you include my Ric 4001CS and I'd say yes, they're all worth it but the assumption that the more you pay the more you get doesn't hold true. So bottom of the pile price wise would be my "Maroosh't'chick" (Can't spell it for real) Jazz at about 1,000 Euros new. I's happily equate it's quality at Sadowsky levels, having owner a Metro and a US Lakland. Top of the list, excluding the CS would be the Overwater Progress Deluxe III with a present price for new of £2,395. It's a very fine bass indeed. However my ACG Harlot (see avatar) blows them away in terms of materials, construction, tone and playability and comes in very much lower than the Overwater. If anyone doesn't believe me you're welcome to try it out at a bass bash near you. I'd struggle to get a new HH Ray for the price of the ACG and that's madness. I've laid hands on some high priced basses and wouldn't swap with the Harlot even if I didn't feel such loyalty to Alan for his work. If I do bang on a bit I'm not apologising [/quote]I think Mr Cringean totally under charges for his basses, I've played Wals, Statii, Jaydees, top of the range Fenders, Warwicks, etc but Alans basses are very special and priced to sell.

Love that Kramer, lefty love.

[quote name='Rayman' post='535839' date='Jul 8 2009, 04:57 PM']Had 'em both, and they are both superb basses for any knid of music you want to play on them. Rock, jazz, pop, funk anything you like on either bass. Very simillar basses apart from the pre on the Marcus, in fact pretty much identical. The bass player from Opeth (metal) uses as Marcus and the bass player from Crowded House (pop) uses a Geddy to give two examples. Superb build, tone, playability on either model, but you need to go and try them. Seriously, go and try them out. You can play any music on any bass period.[/quote]I damn well agree with that last line.

Ed Moses ,was one of the greatest men ever.

I reached training shoe perfection with Diadora "Ed Moses-The Queen" .

Always been a Forest Hills, Trim Trab, or Lendell Pro man myself, maybe Galaxy. Adidas trainers were total works of art.

Got dry stone wall envy now, awww.

So glad you didn't mispost and say, the evidence if my jizz joy, the colour of ric.........

Check out "When Doves Cry" by Prince, it's that ostinato, that it doesn't even have a bassline.

[quote name='FuNkShUi' post='534993' date='Jul 7 2009, 06:32 PM']hell of a lot of work and time that mustve taken you. Really easy to understand too! I learnt the modes about 6 months ago, your way is a hell of a lot easier to understand and pick-up though. Really useful for someone who doesnt already know them!![/quote]Chicks don't dance to lead guitar, so avoid the ones that do, cause they're mental.

Use to but I find my lines have become back engineered, so one day, I will be on stage and play one note, with so much feeling and emotion, that it will make the audience sob, have sex with each other, batter each other, hang their heads in shame, hug and leave the gig with each others telephone numbers to meet up at a later date to change the world forever.

Hope this helps. Steve. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_oBJlE5qNc&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_oBJlE5qNc...feature=related[/url]

When I was playing the exercises. I found myself wanting to go into throwing thirds in but this did make me think and playing it in differnt positions gets you to know your fingerboard better.[/quote]Now, playing them backwards was a different matter.

Do you mean Sub Contra?

Can these discussions be done by PMs?
